Optimal Operation of Active Distribution Networks: Congestion Management, Voltage Control and Service Restoration provides researchers and practitioners with a clear and modern understanding of how to optimize the economic, secure and resilient operation of active distribution networks. The book provides case studies, modern implementations and supporting flowcharts and code, along with current research in congestion management, service restoration and voltage control of active distribution networks. Chapter provide an overview of the active distribution network concept, present key approaches for the congestion management of active distribution networks, and cover approaches in uncertainty, coordination of DLMP, scheduled re-profiling, and more.
Other sections cover real-time congestion management and service restoration of active distribution networks.
